Will the Media Start Using Words Like “FAGGOT?”
American Glob ^ | 10/20/2009 | Aleister

The media is suddenly OK with using anti-gay "hate speech" to slur average Americans and the Tea Party movement.

They use terms like "tea bagger."

When will liberals be offended?

There is no sexism against Conservative women, there is no racism against Concervative minorities. It’s only hateful when directed against leftists.

teabagging is a fratboy prank

some guy will be passed out, usually from drinking, this stuff happens at parties ususally, and his friends will put their testicles on his forehead and take pictures of his face.

its not gay, usually its the biggest frat jock idiots that do this stuff to their buddies.

You are right. But it’s still outrageous.

I understand that but the point is that the media is using what they designate as “hate speech” against the tea party movement.

Look up the other, gay meaning. It is overtly sexual and gay.

That's why Anderson Cooper and Max Blumenthal use it every chance they get.

Putting your testicles on another man's face isn't gay? Whatever you say, Skipper.

...and the frat jock idiots who do that are the same guys who get arrested in an airport mens room.

“Teabagging” is a practice of gay men, there is no dispute over that.

The question is why liberal media feels OK using the term “teabagging” to describe conservatives in the Tea Party movement.

If the liberal media used a term like “teabagging” in reference to American gay people, they would be rightly labeled as anti-gay.

Dick Cheney supports gay marriage, Moe Lane of RedState.com supports gay marriage.

Why are conservatives constantly portrayed as anti-gay when it is the liberal media that uses anti-gay language against conservatives?

Actually there may be something to this. At least conservatives have testicle. Perhaps the closet eunich liberals are jealous

Since they call Tea Party activists teabaggers, can Tea Party activists call liberal demonstrators fudge packers?

If most conservatives were black, there would be no problem with calling us the N-word.
